Is it because the hide and tissue are denser for moose/elk?
Is the classic cup and core suitable for bigger animals?
We've never gone after anything bigger than deer so we are in the dark about these things. My son uses his 7-08 with Federal blue box ammo and we've got a pile of Barnes Vortex with the TSX bullets which we haven't even started on.
I assume the TSX bullets are better for bigger game?
Gonna be a while before we reload for hunting, we've got a pile of factory ammo and my son only took 2 shots last hunting season. He did get a deer on the last day, though.
